TypeError when running chat example with node0.4.8

[pushmatrix]

Hey there,

I'm running currently running node0.4.8 with now.js 0.5. When I try the server part of the chat demo, node gets a TypeError: 'create requires the first argument to be an Object.' at this step: var everyone = nowjs.initialize(httpServer);

Here's the trace:

TypeError: create requires the first argument to be an Object.

Does now.js support node0.4.8? Thanks.

NowJS 0.5 is fairly outdated. Is there any reason why you're using that version over, say, 0.6.1 (which is the latest release on NPM)?

Hey Steve, thanks for your prompt reply. I had tried it on 0.6.1, but with no luck. I had a previous version of node (~0.2) that now.js worked with, but after the update it started to cause problems.

I now have now.js working after having re-installed node.js and npm a few times. Thanks!
